EVENT INFORMATION:

Parking: MPLT members are to park either at the Northeast Office Complex off of Caito Drive, or at Belzer Middle School. DO NOT park at the Options Treatment Center, or your vehicle will be towed!

Students who leave campus after rehearsal need to return in time for dinner. The streets and parking lots will be very congested at this time, please plan extra time so that you are not late to dinner.

Students who plan to stay at LC after rehearsal must wear their 2018 show shirt to receive free admission into the Invitational. No students will be allowed to hang out in the band room or inside of LC until dinner, unless they are under the direct supervision of an MPLT staff member or director.

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION:

All LC volunteers should receive an email with detailed information regarding their volunteer assignment. If you have questions, or do not receive this email, please contact lcpaavolunteers. All LC marching band parents are needed to staff this event.

Any LC or LN parent who volunteers for a shift at the Invitational can watch the event for free. Volunteers will be able to watch MPLT perform. Please email lcpaavolunteers if you can help.

Volunteers are needed to assist with Meal Plan, Uniforms, Pride Bakers, and special events such as the annual Hayride and Halloween goodie bags.

More positions will be added as the season progresses, so keep an eye out for ways that you can help!

This year’s Professional Automotive fundraiser is officially underway!

Extra information packets and envelopes are available in the LC and LN Performing Arts offices.

All MPLT students are encouraged to participate in this year’s Professional Automotive Fundraiser; 100% of proceeds will go to the student’s account!

Apparel:

There is only one more chance to order your MPLT merchandise this year!

The deadline for the third and final order is midnight on September 23rd

There are minimum order requirements for some of our merchandise; if we fail to meet these minimums, these items will be cancelled, and refunds given.

There are a few items that still have not yet met these minimums for the third order cycle:

Sweatpants

Leggings

Generic MPLT wear

If you have been thinking of ordering any of these items, now is the time to act!

Those who ordered in the second order cycle should be able to pick up your merchandise on or about the middle of September, in time for the LC Invitational.

If you placed an order for apparel in the first order cycle and have not yet picked up your merchandise, please see Sue Felli in the LC Performing Arts office to pick up your items.

Fan Club:

Come join us at MPLT Fan Club nights, every Thursday from 8:30pm – 9:30pm throughout the season!

Families are encouraged to come and watch the band rehearse in the LC stadium. This is a great way to meet other families and see firsthand just how hard our students work!

Please note that should the weather turn severe (i.e. heavy rainfall, lightening, etc.), the marching band will be moved indoors for rehearsal. If this occurs, there will not be a Remind notice sent cancelling Fan Club night.
